Chelsea have confirmed that Armando Broja is set to miss the rest of the 2022/23 season after picking up an injury against Aston Villa at the weekend. Following a scan it was revealed that the forward has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and will require surgery, as football.london reported on Tuesday.
Broja went down in the opening half of the clash against the Villans in Abu Dhabi when his knee appeared to buckle when contending with Ezri Konsa. The severity made itself clear as the Albania international screamed in agony and left the field via a stretcher after a number of minutes.
The 21-year-old underwent assessment upon the club's return to England and will now go through the rehabilitation process with the club's medical department.
